Chapter 617 Membership Is Not Easy (Part 2)
Everyone gasped when they heard this number. The cost of billions of dollars? Is this too high?
"It may not be so high, but I have estimated the cost of several existing buildings." Guo Tailai hastily explained, removing the casino and shopping mall at the bottom, the cost will definitely be greatly reduced: "However, if I imagine that every floor They have to design and decorate according to different decoration styles, I am afraid that the design cost alone is a big expense.”
Everyone present was shocked by Guo Tailai's generosity, only Lin Jiayi was still worried: "Even if there are a hundred members, it is impossible to live here every day, right? Instead of leaving most of the rooms vacant, in fact, Mr. Guo, you can consider opening them up." One building faces the public. In this way, the maintenance team and expenses in the later period can also be earned back.”
It's not that everything will be fine if there are three buildings. Hotels, restaurants, and services all need manpower. Moreover, for such a large three buildings, more than a hundred people are definitely needed, and each floor has a dedicated person in charge of two hundred people. What's more, these are just simple floor attendants, various management personnel, other service logistics personnel, and security personnel. Add it up, zero and zero, including the maintenance of the entire island, there may not be hundreds or even thousands of people. If shifts are considered, it is estimated that there will be more.
There are so many people eating and drinking, and the maintenance of the entire building requires extremely high costs. Ordinary hotels alone will definitely not be able to support it. I am afraid that they must be high-end hotels with extremely high prices. Fortunately, Guo Tailai planned to build a high-end hotel from the beginning, which is not inconsistent.
It's just that members alone can't support it. Not every member will come often, and not every member will bring a large number of followers, so they may not be willing to live alone on an empty floor. In this way, Guo Tailai will have to lose a lot of money every year just to maintain the island and the building.
What Lin Jiayi said made sense, but Guo Tailai shook his head after thinking about it.
"The reason why I want this small island is because of its privacy. If it is open to the outside world, where is the privacy?" Guo Tailai explained to Lin Jiayi, which can be regarded as explaining to other people: "But what you said makes sense, I can Take one building out and make it a hotel room that is slightly bigger but the same as ordinary guest rooms. The other two buildings, except for some that I want to occupy, will be decorated as a single floor for some customers in need.”
"After the construction is completed, I may live here most of the time." Guo Tailai continued: "For our members, a hotel with such an independent space but complete facilities is also the best choice. Believe me , many of our members will love it here. No spectators, no reporters, no paparazzi, you can do whatever you want, safe enough, they will love it here."
"In addition, we can also open the hotel to members, allowing them to book a party or a press conference on the top floor, which is another income." Guo Tailai thought about it again, and added: "When the time comes, what? SPG, any Hilton membership, are all scum.”
Since Guo Tailai already had an idea, Lin Jiayi knew that there was no point in talking about anything else. She only needed to be responsible for checking for gaps and making up for them. This was the duty of a real assistant. Unless this project has no hope of success at all, Lin Jiayi will definitely stand by Guo Tailai's side.
What's more, she roughly calculated that the annual maintenance cost of such three buildings, including the small island, would not exceed 100 million. Considering Guo Tailai's earning speed, it seemed that there was no need to worry. Even without a single guest, Guo Tailai can hold on.
"Okay." Lin Jiayi no longer questioned, but asked another question: "Mr. Guo, is there any other design options? Or a more beautiful design?"
other options? Don't say it really exists. Looking at Lin Jiayi, then at the few other people who were still surprised, Guo Tailai nodded and said, "Yes, come and have a look when I finish. But I can only do the exterior, and the interior and structure have to be designed by others."
It's normal, Guo Tailai is not a major in architecture, let alone civil engineering, everyone understands. There are other designs, and everyone is looking forward to it again. No matter what design Guo Tailai came up with, it seems that it can make people look forward to it, okay?
Other building designs? After thinking about it, Guo Tailai chose two tall buildings and skyscrapers. One is the Burj Khalifa in the future, also known as the Burj Khalifa. The other, like the Stark Industrial Building, is designed for the virtual world, the Pearl Tower in "Sky Rescue".
Relatively speaking, Guo Tailai prefers the Pearl Tower. Judging from the shape, the Pearl Tower is a giant dragon rising from the water, and then holding a huge dragon ball in the air. thinking.
However, these two skyscrapers are really too tall, and I am afraid that it will be very difficult to construct. Not to mention anything else, the wind and earthquake resistance of the high-rise buildings are two major difficulties, not to mention the various other latest technologies used in this era. Not necessarily. But in any case, this does not prevent Guo Tailai from showing the appearance design first, maybe he can register it and sell it for a good price.
Half a day was enough for Guo Tailai to make the models of the two skyscrapers, and the outer walls were made of glass, which was lifelike.
When everyone saw the models of these two skyscrapers, they were stunned again.
"How tall is this?" Lin Jiayi asked in surprise, two models of towering buildings that were several times higher than the Sands Hotel.
"The same ratio." Guo Tailai pointed to the Sands Hotel as a reference and replied: "This one is more than 800 meters high, and this one is probably more than 900 meters high."
No wonder it is so tall. Everyone was amazed when they saw the two models of buildings that were taller than a person. So high, how high is the cost?
Lin Jiayi's eyes were attracted by the madness, but she couldn't help but want to hold her forehead and smile bitterly. As expected, this boss doesn't do anything, and wants to pursue the limit when he does.
"Mr. Guo, this 200-meter-high building is not enough for customers, and it's even more difficult for these two such tall ones!" Lin Jiayi admired in her heart while smiling wryly, not to mention the Burj Khalifa, the Pearl Tower, Dragon Playing Pearl , It is simply a genius design!
"Don't worry!" Guo Tailai directly gave Lin Jiayi a guarantee: "Aren't you a member? As long as we are willing, hundreds of people will definitely be fine, trust me. As long as I let the word out, some people are willing to rent hotel rooms for a long time."
As soon as this sentence was finished, Guo Tailai's phone rang. As if confirming what Guo Tailai said, when he picked up the phone and heard what was said inside, Guo Tailai asked back: "Uncle Wang, are you planning to recommend a new member?"
